Written by Macomb, a Royalist in Burgoyne's army during the Saratoga campaign, to Burgoyne in London. Writes that he wants to affirm his character with Burgoyne after General Haldiman believes he deserted the army with 1500 pounds after the defeat at Saratoga. Says Brigadier General Fraser, who died at Saratoga, said he would have a 50 pound-a-year salary, which he has not received. Says he only left the army before the Convention because he dreaded what the "Rebels" would do to him for helping his son-in-law raise a battalion for Burgoyne. Hopes Burgoyne will recommend establishing his salary to Haldiman. Says acting paymaster of the Convention Army, David Geddes, can vouch that he only received the money that is credited for in his account. There is a separate wrapper for the letter with the address and docket. Docket in the hand of Robert Kingston, a staff officer of Burgoyne's, says the letter would be forwarded to Bath in England. Also says Burgoyne will write to Haldiman and tell him that Macomb was strongly recommended by Fraser.
